how much do you pay for cast bullets??

[saskgunowner101]

I'm just wondering what all of you are paying for cast bullets across Canada. Specifically wondering about 9mm and .40 cal. And if shipped how much it bumped up the cost. And how high would you go. Just curious.

Wholesale in Saskatoon has some bulk cast bullets they just got in. I think the 38 158 gr swc were about 76.00./1000

Last time I was at TNT in Regina they had the same for about 65.00/1000.

Cartoon McGinty can kiss my @ss!

My pal Rick at RandRbullets@mountaincable.net sells cast bullets. I believe that 9mm cast bullets are currently selling for C$60.00 per thousand plus Cartoon McGinty sales tax.
Forty calibers sell for C$70.00 plus the Cartoon McGinty sales tax. Damn liberal!

I'll second the R&R Bullets... When I get some time I will be buying a few thousand from him.

Plains ammunition supply in Gull Lake SK. (306)672-3656 $60/1000 9mm. I have no idea about the cost of shipping...... I would imagine @ 40lbs per 1000, it would be alot.

Has the price for Cast bullets come down since last summer?

 

[notsorichguy]

I dunno..... I've only been buying them for about 5 weeks!!

All scrap metal prices are down......
Copper- $2 p/lb
Brass- $.6 p/lb
Steel- $.3 p/ton

Last summer Iwas getting $3 p/lb for #2 Copper... almost $4 p/lb of #1 copper

Well, if 9mm is going for $60/1000.....and we were buying 44 mag for $70/1000 less than 2 years ago, I'd guess no, the prices haven't come down. Actually, when have prices EVER come down in this hobby ????

Plains ammunition is product I bought at TNT in Regina and they had quite a selection.

a couple of us went together and picked up 12000 357's and 45's for 55-60 per 1000 from Bruce a couple weeks ago. He will give a break on price for larger amounts and will let you mix to get to his magic discount number.

I haven't been following cast prices but I do remember that the Bullet barn had to increase their prices last year due to the high lead prices and rising transport costs....just wondering if anyone has re-adjusted their price due to the huge plummet in lead and fuel prices this year?

I'm thinking now might be a good time to stock up on some lead bullets or even just lead itself...

I have about 120 lbs of WW lead and moulds my next 10K + will cost about 30 bucks I guess and quite a few hours of time

 

[blacksmithden]

A scrap dealer I deal with is charging $0.50/pound for scrap lead right now, including wheel weights. That's pretty stiff given the current price of pure lead, but what are you going to do ?? I've got a little trick up my sleeve that I'll share once my lifetime stash has been secured in a few weeks
